Hlo,
The reason for putting this on top is that I have data that are
showing that I can not blame the Shuttle.
Here is the brief infos-
When using a USB keyboard [native USB or with an adaptor for ps2]
the keypad Del key works perfectly but when NumLock is on that key
does not change its output to Dot when working with any version
of OpenBSD that I have tried. Turning NumLock off and using the
shift key does not work either.
There are no other keys affected.
The problem exists on every computer that I try.
Windows 7 or XP and NetBSD both work perfectly.
There is now some tension in the evidence.
(I) It would seem that there is a little bug in OpenBSD that will
affect any box running with USB keyboard.
(II) I can't believe that this can not have been noticed before if
clause (I) is true.
Well maybe that no OBSD person uses USB keyboard? Or doesn't use
that Dot key on the keypad?

Using the same keyboard where I first saw the bug but connected to a
plain old PC.
I use hexdump like this:
# hexdump -C
tap the problem key, then hit return and then Cntrol-D
With numlock off I see:
^[[3~
00000000 1b 5b 33 7e 0a
00000005
With numlock on:

00000000 2e 0a

Using the same keyboard with a ps2-USB adaptor I see the same
result as the numlock off test above whether numlock is on or off.
This is what I see on the Shuttle also but it has no ps2 sockets
so on it I'm stuck with no working dot key on the numpad and
of course old habits die hard so I mess up lots of ip addresses.
Is there something in wsconsctl or such that would let me patch
it? I've been hunting through various related man pages but I
have not hit on a hint so far.
Hey, baaaaaaaa-by!
Just recently i've posted a patch to tech@ that let's you examine
the scancode of a key via wsconsctl!!!
Then you can use basic wsconsctl features to set the key to
whatever you want, now that you can identify it!!
By the way - Marco Peereboom has posted a great ksh(1) to tech@ on
2011-09-06 that let you do graceful multi-character-sequence key
binding, which may also be of interest to you.
Was for me.
And YOU ARE THE FIRST Windows NT user i know of who cares about
keyboard scancodes!
This is just a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE for me.
THANK YOU!!!!
(P.S.: there is a X program which gives you even more info, so
that you can adjust your .xmodmaprc or so.)
